We
all
saw
the
power
of
social/mobile
this
past
summer
when
the
ALS
Ice
Bucket
Challenge
swept
not
only
the
nation,
but
the
world.
Playful
in
its
nature,
the
Challenge
goaded
millions
to
accept
and
post
their
videos
–
more
than
6M
videos
on

alone.

Imagine
how
much
goodwill
you
could
create
and
how
much
your
organization
could
accomplish
if
you
did
just
one
thing:
put
people
first.
It
may
sound
simple,
or
even
simplistic.
But
in
a
world
where
organizations
have
been
so
inwardly
focused
for
so
long,
it’s
actually
pretty
revolutionary.

Every
single
moment
is
an
opportunity
to
meaningfully
engage
with
an
individual.
But
here’s
the
catch:
moments
matter
only
when
they’re
relevant
to
you.
That’s
why
I
constantly
tell
our
clients
that
amassing
more
data
is
not

The
point
is
to
use
those
data
to

–
and

all
the

have
to
offer
about
what
they
want,
how
they

from
